The Mannsville Meeting.
By M. H. Brown
According to appointment, this meeting convened the last Sabbath in May. Owing to the distance which some lived from the customary place of meeting, in connection with the very severe weather of the past winter, and a lack of interest on the part of some, this church has had no Sabbath meetings since last fall. The appointment of a two days' meeting secured a good representation from the Adam's Center church (twelve or fifteen), and a general attendance of the Mannsville church, as well as a few from without. The Spirit of the Lord was present, to search the hearts of his people, as well as to cheer and encourage the despondent, and we all felt that the meeting was one of profit. It was at least productive of one good result: the appointment of Sabbath meetings, commencing on the next Sabbath. Several members also expressed a determination to sustain the meetings by their influence and their presence. We feel a deep interest in the welfare of this church. We are anxious to see them engage in the work of the Lord more earnestly, by sustaining their Sabbath meetings and entering heartily into tract and missionary labor. The Lord has rich blessings in store for those who engage in this branch of the work, if they seek the Lord earnestly for wisdom and strength to do it aright. Sanford's Corners, Jeff. Co., N. Y.
